Shi Qing Ba Tuan Long Feng Makeup Satin Jacket, Qing Qianlong, 152 cm in length, 180 cm in total length of both sleeves, 23 cm in cuff width, 140 cm in hem width, and 84 cm in rear train length. The old collection of the Qing Palace
The jacket is a auspicious dress, with a standing collar, a placket, flat cuffs, and a train that opens back. The lining is made of moon white lotus and dark flower satin, and the coat surface is woven on a stone blue satin ground with multicolored silk threads in a “makeup flower” technique to weave eight groups of dragon and phoenix patterns. The lower one is woven with a smooth water eight treasures Ruyi cloud pattern. The colors are skillfully made of halos, such as flat water woven with four halos of green and blue, and Ruyi cloud patterns woven with three halos of green, blue, yellow, and black, with brilliant colors. At the same time, the dragon and phoenix patterns are alternately woven with dark and light circular gold threads, using changes in the dark and light gold threads to highlight the three-dimensional sense of the dragon pattern and echo the dancing phoenix pattern. The dragon and phoenix match, with a special pattern. This is the only one among the dragon coats, worn by the Empress of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty
The original yellow stripe on the jacket was printed in ink, saying, “Stone blue satin woven multicolored and eight regimented floral female jacket… See the 22nd day of the 14th year of Qianlong’s reign…”.
